MANILA, Philippines - Mesmerizing is often used by those who meet Charlene Gonzalez for the first time. She’s no frail beauty. Though her demeanor conveys a warm gentleness and ease, it’s boosted by the firm and purposeful way she carries herself — a confident posture that commands attention. Jaws drop in her presence, whether she’s at a magazine photo shoot wearing high fashion or in simple but tasteful street clothes while taping for one of her television shows, or a day out with family.
Charlene’s bearing clearly shows that she is a woman who takes care of herself — someone who knows that the strong bones she has are essential to leading an active and busy life. And for this she thanks a healthy outlook, an active lifestyle, the right food, and one of her new favorite drinks: Anlene Concentrate.
Like many Filipino women, Charlene knew that calcium was one of the building blocks of strong bones. An avid milk-drinker, she felt she’s got that covered. “I’ve been a big milk drinker ever since (I was young),” she says. “I (used to) take liquid skim milk.”
But the fact is, as Charlene learned, many women get only about 50 percent of their daily calcium needs. Even those who take calcium supplements and regular milk may not get the full benefits of calcium.
